Plain-English summary
Stryker Corporation has recalled the ACM (Advanced Cement Mixing) System, a device used during orthopedic joint surgery to mix bone cement with consistent high vacuum. The recall focuses on kits containing the femoral break-away nozzle (applicator tip) that connects the cement cartridge to the mixing system. The affected lot numbers are 22306012, 22307012, 22340012, 22341012, 22342012, and 23017012.
The break-away femoral nozzle may disassemble or break off during use. If this occurs, fragments could fall into the surgical site, potentially causing loss of function of the ACM system and introducing foreign material that could compromise biocompatibility.
Approximately 231 units were distributed in the United States and 21 units internationally to Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Medical facilities and surgeons using this equipment should verify they do not have affected lot numbers in stock. Stryker has contacted affected customers directly. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.
